Who Pays the Price for California's Death Penalty?

[Gulfporter]

California spends $24 million per year housing the people on death row.

Execute them now, and save that money.

If you execute someone via the death penalty then you no longer have to pay for them to stay in prison!! If you commute them to life in prison then you pay until they die which could be 30,40 years or more!! How is that cost effective,it's not!!
